You should have known that if you launch off something you saw me post that it is 9/10 gonna be discourse related

Whole group is dead silent at the bar because a couple (possibly on a first date) next to us is discussing Wes Anderson’s filmography at length

Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in

(Saw something I thought was bad/stupid and now I want to fire off a rebuttal)

Resident evil is goated, where else can get you amazing lore tidbits like β€œLickers Beta themselves”

What if you celebrated international women's day by donating to two trans women who are still unemployed and still out here doing the work anyway? Wouldn't that be so fun?

my fav gaming podcasts featuring women (some of whom also featured me, a woman) are @indieventurepodcast.co.uk, @girlmodepod.bsky.social and @dotzip.online

My article on Resident Evil: Requiem's now available for everyone! It's a highly polished yet soulless affair that seemingly invented a brand new character explicitly to undermine them at every turn:

Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. β€œIt’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”

It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.

By treating the past with reverence, Resident Evil Requiem loses its profane bite Resident Evil Requiem treats its past with too much reverence, undermining the mystery and blasphemy so crucial to great horror.

Wrote a bit about Resident Evil Requiem and how it's part of a long-term horror trend of reboots and re-visitations which are more nostalgic than terrifying.

Alternatively we should all endeavor to write fair and measured reviews of indies, and we could all be way meaner to AAA at all times

More and more whenever I end up going down the rabbit hole of whatever games discourse of the day we’re having I just find myself thinking…. β€œI wish I was an editor” so instead of shouting into the void here I could just teach some writers in a real way

Sorry for always being late to discourse. I just remember being told once that it wasn’t worth writing about an indie if I didn’t have anything nice to say. Never sat right with me.

I’m probably (clearly if you’ve read my work) the biggest believer in writing criticism of indie games like you would any game. The second we treat indies with kid gloves is the second you feed into the narrative they are less then AAA for some reason

Oh you liked Bridgerton S4, in which a rich white guy who likes art falls for a hot Asian girl way out of his league? Well then may I interest you in Love Through a Prism?

Due to *the horrors* I think the universe should let us all indulge in one vice each without consequence

I remember writing a piece on, of all things, immortals of aveum about how the FPS as a genre should maybe be tossed out whole cloth because it’s so intrinsically tied to war propaganda even when it isn’t a β€œrealistic” shooter
